Okay. That is f*cked up. Reminds me of that Raxephone episode, in which MC destroys a dolem (enemy mech) to protect his childhood friend (who also became his girlfriend just before as they run away) aaaaand that dolem didn't fought back while he trashed it, because as it turned you....she was its core. She never told him she was a member of the enemy side, because she was afraid of how he'd react and she loved him. Sucked to be him after he realized that.
